I know I’ve worn this top 239842734 times on the blog but it’s just because I’ve worn it 2398427394 times in real life. It’s just perfect. The “v” the tiny straps, the way it will do the perfect front tuck or all tuck or no tuck. I seriously want it in every color but could only justify getting it in black and white for now.

Also, I am obsessed with this watch! I’ve wanted a black watch for forever and feel like it adds such an element of effortless chic. Today and tomorrow Filippo Loreti is offering readers 15% off when you check out with the code Sunshades15. So if you’re in the market for a simplistic fall statement watch they are a great place to go.

Last night when I got home David was waiting with a bottle of wine and the movie Neighbors. He really knows the way to my heart. Speaking of – has anyone read the book “the 5 love languages?” When we were unpacking I noticed we have it but I’ve never read it. I know the basic concept but have never read it to know what my own “love language” is.

White with leather is one of my favorite combinations. I love the contrast and the effortless-chic vibe it gives off. It was so much fun shooting these near Soho with one of the girls I had met at the polyvore meetup party.

Traveling to New York is always fun and I think living there (even for a summer) would have been amazing. My sister lived there for 4 years and was happy to return back to the south from the horn-heavy-lacking-in-grass atmosphere. Still, I think New York is pretty magical with an energy like no other. Sporadic trips there will just have to do. However, in the New York vs. Chicago pizza debate my vote is definitely for Chicago. Let’s not get crazy. Any time I can order a slice of pizza and it comes in the form of a 3 inch thick lasagna there is just no competition.

Here are some of the things on my ‘New York’ to-do list in my phone if you find yourself in the city….

1. SOHO – just walking around these cobblestone streets and window shopping (or actually shopping) at the boutiques in this area is great.

4. Di Fara: A pizza place in Brooklyn where you can brown bag (gets very crowded so try to get there right at opening – wait time is between 30 minutes and 2 hours – $5 per slice or whole pizza for 28 – closed between 4:30 and 6:30 every day. Closed Mondays)

5. walk the highline and since you’re there go to the Biergarten (indoor/outdoor space with lots of picnic tables and some pingpong tables as well – those are always good. When I was here I felt like everyone was dressed like they could be on pinterest.)
